I had seen the film and didn't like it.
The others films were much better. I think if will be one more Harry Potter film I won't see it becuase I slept at this film :!:
I don't like it ! 1st and 2nd parth of harry poter were very good buth 3th and 4th - sux !
The new Harry Potter was obviously a good movie.
I personally enjoyed seeing it and especially I liked the scene in the graveyard with Lord Voldmort. This scene was very harsh and I remember myself pretty shocked in this moment.
I recommend everyone to go and see this movie as soon as possible.
This is what I'm talking about... a "constructive" comment... please don't leave something like it sucks... because there is always more to it...Quote:

Yet to watch goblet of fire. Does ur poll options make any sense?
i dont like it! this part is really sux
It has very little stuf taken from thebook. There were a lot more stuff in it. So it sux :lol:
In comparison to the other Harry Potter movies, this is the best one...
But still, not a great movie...
Well, they have 3 more movies to do better, so who knows? :>
The movie is nice to me~!
I saw it and I liked it but I was a bit sad that it left so many things out-if you read the book, there are more going on..
However, if they stayed true to the book it would have been a 7 hour movie, not a 3 hour one..
So, I'm overall satisfied.
I liked the way the movie made the entrance of the other two schools - especially the drum cadence.
While I liked the drum cadence, I didn't like the overall music as much as the past movies. They changed the music composer and it's not as good without a John Williams score. Patrick Doyle just doesn't do as good a job.
harry potter may not click wid u but doesnt mean it sucks k.....i m not very impressed wid the first three movies.....except the quidich.....man thts awesome....but the 4th movie was great....n i liked it...
I love HARRY POTTER, i thought the fourth movie was the best!
I love all the Harry Potter movies. The newer books and movies are getting rushy and more irritating sometimes. I can't really explain it, but if you read the first book, then the 6th, you'll see what I'm saying.
I do not see but i sing it is film to childrens
i like harry potter ofcourse and the movie was excellent
I personally find the latest installment to be the very best. They're delving into dark territory, and as any adult knows as they've grown up, real life tends to become more compelling, rather than living in a fluffy fantasy world.
If you want to know what really happened to harry potter. Watch Teamsquad's Harry Potter and the Solicitor's Trombone.
No I don't think that Harry Potter isn't any good cos it's not the real truth!!
I do not see. I think this part is really sux. but i like 1st and 2nd parth of harry poter .
i like the book more that movie =.=
I was kinda disappointed with the Goblet of Fire. The other movies were great and did a really good job of translating the book onto film. The last one, though, I thought didn't. I was really looking forward to it as well :cry:
its great nothing like the book but still good
and theres no film like it as in greatness
i didn't watch it yet but i watched other three parts and i think the first part is better.
the only HP that rated PG-13 is HP GoF !
I saw it and It was prefect in my opinon
I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, the films are too long and boring.
Harry Potter is the name of a popular series of fantasy novels by British writer J. K. Rowling. Depicting a world of witches and wizards (the protagonist being the eponymous young wizard Harry Potter), the series has since the release of its first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States) in 1997, been criticised, both literarily and otherwise. Despite this, the series has succeeded in gaining immense popularity and commercial success world wide and across age demographics, spawning in addition to its original medium, books, movies, video games, and a wealth of other commercial items.
The majority of the series' action takes place between 1991-1998, focusing on Harry Potter’s journey toward manhood over the course of his education, interactions, journeys, and adventures. Through the course of these, the series also explores themes of friendship, ambition, choice, prejudice, and love against the backdrop of the expansive magical world with its long and complex history, diverse inhabitants, unique culture, and parallel society. The books also focus on Harry's stuggle of growing up an orphan, and the bonds he has with certian people because of his parents' deaths.
As of 2006, six of the seven planned books have been published. The latest, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was published in its English-language version on 16 July 2005. The first four books have been made into successful films, and the fifth began filming in February 2006. English language versions of the books are published by Bloomsbury, Scholastic Press, and Raincoast Books.
In 1990, Rowling was on a crowded train from Manchester to London when the idea for Harry simply “fell” into her head. Rowling gives an account of the experience on her website:
I had been writing almost continuously since the age of six but I had never been so excited about an idea before. To my immense frustration, I didn't have a functioning pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because I simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up in my brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didn't know he was a wizard became more and more real to me. I think that perhaps if I had had to slow down the ideas so that I could capture them on paper I might have stifled some of them (although sometimes I do wonder, idly, how much of what I imagined on that journey I had forgotten by the time I actually got my hands on a pen). [1]
That evening J.K. Rowling began the pre-writing for her first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Sorcerer's Stone in the U.S.), pre-writing that would include the plot to each of her seven planned books, in addition to an enormous amount of historical and biographical information on her characters and universe. [2] Eventually Rowling relocated to Portugal, where she in 1992 married her first husband, and in 1993 had her first child, Jessica, all the while continuing her writing of Stone. When the marriage dissolved, Rowling returned to Britain with her daughter and settled in Edinburgh to be near her sister, famously continuing her writing of Philosopher's Stone in local coffee shops. Bringing in only £90 a week (£70 of which were from income support) and unable to secure a place for her daughter in a nursery, the sleeping infant Jessica would be a constant companion to her mother as Rowling labored to finish the book that she had at this point begun to fear would never be completed.
In 1999 Nancy Kathleen Stouffer, who is sometimes known by her penname of N.K. Stouffer, quietly began to allege copyright and trademark infringement of her 1984 work The Legend of Rah and the Muggles and Larry Potter and His Best Friend Lilly by J.K. Rowling.[14]
The primary basis for Stouffer's claims lie in her own invention of Muggles, non-magical elongated humanoids of sorts and the title character of the second work, Larry Potter, a bespectacled boy with dark, albeit wavy hair (Rowling's Potter is characterized as having all of those though with unruly instead of wavy hair.) Stouffer contended (and still does to this day) that it is not just these examples and similar names but that it is "the cumulative effect of all of it combined" with the other comparisons she lists on her real muggles website.[15]
J.K. Rowling, along with Scholastic Press (Rowling's american publisher) and Warner Brothers (holders of the series' film rights), preempted Stouffer with a suit of their own seeking a declaratory judgment that they had not infringed on any of Stouffer's works. Rowling, through the use of expert witnesses who brought into question the authenticity of Stouffer's evidence, won the case with Stouffer's claims being dismissed with prejudice and Stouffer herself being fined $50,000 for her "pattern of intentional bad faith conduct" in relation to her employment of fraudulent evidentiary submissions, along with being ordered to pay a portion of the plaintiffs' legal fees.[16]
Added controversy stems from some Christian groups in the United States who have denounced the series for promoting witchcraft and Satanism. "It contains some powerful and valuable lessons about love and courage and the ultimate victory of good over evil," said Paul Hetrick, spokesman for Focus on the Family, a national Christian group based in Colorado Springs. "However, the positive messages are packaged in a medium — witchcraft — that is directly denounced in Scripture." [17] Accordingly, Harry Potter has been the subject of various book burnings.[18] Continuing with the same line of reasoning, in 2002, Chick Publications went so far as to produce a comic book tract called "The Nervous Witch" about two teenage girls who get seriously involved in occult witchcraft and become demonically possessed as a direct result of reading Harry Potter books. [19]
It has also been argued that when Pope Benedict XVI was Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith he also condemned the books in a letter expressing gratitude for the receipt of a book on the subject, stating they are "a subtle seduction, which has deeply unnoticed and direct effects in undermining the soul of Christianity before it can really grow properly." [20] Monsignor Peter Fleetwood, a Vatican priest, wrote that these remarks were misinterpreted, and that the letter was likely to have been written by an assistant of the then-cardinal.[21]
Owing to the very nature of the books and the matter-of-fact way in which Rowling addresses the use of magic, the series has been a frequent target of banning and censorship in libraries. The series taken as a whole is in the list of the top 100 most frequently challenged books at libraries (i.e. books that have been requested to be banned), currently listed at number seven on this list. [22]
The series garnered more controversy with its most recent release, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when a grocery store in Canada accidentally sold several copies of the sixth Harry Potter book before the authorized release date and the Canadian publisher, Raincoast Books, obtained an injunction from the Supreme Court of British Columbia prohibiting the purchasers from reading the books in their possession. This sparked a number of news articles questioning the injunction's restriction on fundamental rights. Canadian law professor Michael Geist has posted commentary on his weblog. [23] Richard Stallman has posted commentary on his weblog calling for a boycott until the publisher issues an apology.[24] Some versions of this creed have been circulated by email including a spoiler for one of the major plot points in the novel; whether this was actually the original posted version and was modified by Stallman is as yet unclear, though the tone of the sentence is substantially the same as that of the rest of the message.
